View Full Version : future direction of the forum....

Ok before I start this post, please know that I am not trying to start a drama;) big debate or anything like that..and to the staff...please know that I and the others do appreciate everything that you do for us. You guys are wonderful, put lots of time into this place, and keep it the wonderful place that it is..We all appreciate that, and the fact that you guys are cool(most anyways)...This thread is just made in concern and just cuz the topic has come up in discussion with other forum goers..So understand that this is not an attack in any way...just an observation k:)
I cant seem to understand why AIW has turned into what it is now..In the past, anything that was said in there wasnt grounds for a ban and it was just expected that shit was going to be talked about you. It seems to me that lately people have been taking shit way too personally, and run and cry about it (not talking about anyone directly)....I know that some people take things way too far and say things that show what a scumbag they are...I know that people's mothers and children are talked about, which shouldnt be done and is just tasteless but comeon guys....In a forum where people spend so much time and know everyone there is bound to be problems and "wars" waged. People say stupid shit...that's never gonna change. I myself have both instigated lol and been on the receiving end of these wars. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some people are just going to be an ass regardless...such is life.
I just wonder how far this is going to go? Is someone going to get banned everytime something demeaning is said? I used to enjoy this forum, and I still do to a point,although I think it is the people that keep me coming back and will keep pulling me back...I just wonder if it is going to continue in this direction???? While it doesnt seem like much, it is a big difference from the ways of the past, and while it is wonderful to have the staff protecting us and sticking up for us...it kinda makes it a weird vibe in the forum.
Anyways, I just needed to get this lil rant out and I realize that many may not agree with me, but that's the beauty of free speech lmao it entitles me to make these wonderful posts ranting at 3am in the morning while I am drunk as a skunk...
holy shit...i dont think i have ever made a post this long lmao...

I'd also like to know the answer to this question (and let's not forget both offenders did this repeatedly before the banning.)

Yeah, Tung's been telling you a pile of shit if he's been saying he was banned for anything that went on in A/I/W. Most likely he's whining to you all and fabricating it because he couldn't get a staff member to lift his ban early.

I know why tung was banned for, i was there when it happened, my point was the other person or persons involved.

well if indeed you were there at the time mate you would know he isnt banned for anything to do with anyone else but himself and his own actions;)

Also since this thread was about the "regulation" of A/I/W and how safe/unsafe it is to flame in there, I think it was necessary to explain that if this thread came as a result of Tung, that Tung's banning is not related to A/I/W.

I think this topic has focused on one small point here. The point isn't just tung, it's the people who take shit too seriously. People who get offended in AIW. People don't seem to understand that if you post in AIW, you are prone to getting flamed. Settle down folks, don't take this shit to bed with you at night.

It's totally redundant when you put it in its original context...
It seems to me that lately people have been taking shit way too personally, and run and cry about it (not talking about anyone directly)
Either she meant people directly, or the entire post has no substance or value.
I suggest you leave the applied thinking to those of us with IQ in positive integers th0mas...

i think the only thing redundant is your overuse of the word 'redundant'! did you recently see that in your word of the day calander?

I can't help it th0mas - every time I see one of your posts, the word leaps to my mind...
Other words include: misinformed, genetic throwback, humourless, waste of oxygen, soon-to-be-found-lying-in-a-ditch-with-his-severed-penis-duct-taped-in-his-mouth, etc...
